Description
print of pen & ink drawing of the White's Bridge over the Flat River, 1976. Bridge was built in 1867 by Jared N. Brazee and J. N, Walker, builders of several covered bridges in this area. The crossing here was known as White's Crossing before the first bridge was built. In 1840, a bridge of log-corduroy construction was erected. It was replaced by this covered bridge, costing $1700. It is of the through-truss type with a gable roof. The hand-hewed trusses are sheeted over with rough pine boards. Wooden pegs and handcut square iron nails are used to secure the various parts of the bridge. White's Bridge has been in constant use since 1867.
